Eva Lovia Pens Essay on ‘Normalizing Ethical Porn’

CYBERSPACE —Eva Lovia has written an essay for Ethical.porn titled, “Ethical Porn — This Can Be the Norm.”

“It is time we removed the blinders and really dive into what is ethical porn, is it possible, and how we can ensure its survival,” Lovia wrote.

According to a rep, Lovia offered her conceptualization of ethical porn — content that is produced with consent by all parties, where all the performers are happy, excited and not pressured into doing acts they may not be comfortable with, and where saying “no” doesn’t get you labeled as “difficult” or a “diva.”

She also called upon women in the industry to support performers who may be struggling: “[S]ome are not as bold, confident or brave to speak up, so if you see something, say something.”

Lovia is an advocate of women’s sexual empowerment and shows her activism by saying, “If performers could band together and no longer tolerate bad behavior, we could have a future where ethical porn was the norm not the exception as it currently is.”

Ethical.porn founder, and Sssh.com’s director and producer, Angie Rowntree commented, “Eva’s candid and insightful observations regarding ethical content production and on-set behavior are invaluable. Eva lets us know that we all have a role and responsibility in creating ethical content and contributing to performer safety. We are very pleased to share this thought-provoking piece.”
